MLB owners and players face a 5 p.m. ET deadline Tuesday to hammer out a new collective bargaining agreement. Otherwise, regular-season games will start to be wiped off the schedule. Opening Day is slated for Thursday, March 31.
: “Players have not found MLB’s approach of taking deadlines to be helpful. As of a few minutes ago, the union had not yet received the offer MLB says will be its last to the players prior to the 5 p.m. ET deadline.”: “Figured the break last night would change the dynamic, like calling timeout. MLB’s optimism was as consistent as was union’s caution last night. Will see how serious MLB is about a deal when we see their offer now.
“MLB official: ‘We thought that there was a path to a deal last night and that both sides were closing on in on the major issues. They couldn’t make us a CBT proposal last night so we agreed to extend the deadline to exhaust every option. “MLB official: ‘The MLBPA has a decidedly different tone today and made proposals inconsistent with the prior discussions. We will be making our best offer before the 5 p.m. deadline for the MLBPA that’s a fair deal for players and clubs.’”: “MLB spokesman: ‘’We thought there was a path to a deal last night. We agreed to exhaust … every option. We will be making our best offer to the MLBPA by 5 pm that we think is a fair deal for players and clubs.
: “Sources: After a 2 and a half hour player rep call the players union made an oral counterproposal to MLB on a number of key areas.. Word is the players union lowered their bonus pool ask to less than $100M. MLB was last at $25M. Seemingly a decent sized gap remains.”: “Union had a two and a half hour meeting with player reps this morning, then made a counter proposal on the big issues, per someone familiar with the negotiations.
